Two slithery, cold-blooded characters in Times Square were nabbed before they could put the squeeze on hapless tourists, cops said.

The snakes — including a yellow boa constrictor — were seized Thursday after their owner, Jason Wilson, was caught dangling the reptiles around his neck at the Crossroads of the World at about 2:30 p.m., sources said.

Wilson, 34, was summonsed for possession of wild animals. Cops said he was trying to solicit tourists to snap pics with the slippery serpents.

Midtown North Precinct cops tweeted a photo of the boa. The second type of snake couldn’t immediately be identified.
